    Been there. Done that. FML on searching for programming help some days. Versioning is a nightmare as the way you “used” to do things is no longer relevant and the rest of the results are some asshole saying it is a duplicate question that was answered 10 years ago…that is no longer fucking relevant!

    Sorry. Yesterday sucked. I hope today is less frustration and more things working like they are supposed to.

      Multiple times I have searched for a question and found a single SO answer from years back that was my own, with no replies.

      I hope something nice happens to you today :)

      As someone who is trying to teach themselves a few new things this year by diving to projects using them… I seriously, seriously feel you. It honestly makes me question whether I should just abandon each project I start, both professional and personal.

      All the relevant hits are from years and/or 2+ versions of whatever ago or forum posts with dead links to an alleged solution.

      I feel like in the past I could just dive into something and search my way through it. Now I feel like that era is over and I question whether it’s me, my niche project idea, the disappearing community, or just the search engines.
